      And that also makes him the greatest artist.

      I mean consider this… using nothing but the concrete walls of the Führerbunker as canvas, his own grey matter as paint, and his trusty sidearm as a brush, he created the most impactful painting of humanity.

                Is that his actual death though? To me it just looks like sarcastic acting.

                Like he’s making fun of the idea of getting shot.

        It’ll be a national holiday when Trump goes. Just need to think up a properly passive aggressive name for it. Liberation day kinda works, but might be too ironic.

          Not like you think. Boomers will gather in parks and shit their pants in honor of the Orange Fuhrer.

          April 30 was never made a Jewish Holiday.

          Call it maga day, but with an intonation that now that he’s gone we can actually make a better society

          Regan-Trump geriatric awareness day?

          Celebrated by organizing against people in government who are too fucking old to be driving a car, let alone running the country?

          It will also be effectively legal to shit on gravesites that day. Not because of any change in the law, but because it would take too much work to enforce on dementia day.

            Cause of death awareness bay would be a positive spin I supposed.

            Or pick something like ureathra health day, and sell urinal cakes with his face or gravestone on them.

      They don’t even need to have an intelligence cap that limits you from hiring, like how the police operate, because if you’re applying in the first place it’s assumed you’re too stupid to question orders and just want to shoot people for not being white.

    All three firearm discharges occurred during quarterly training sessions while agents were holstering their weapons, a routine but potentially high-risk moment in firearms handling.
